Patriciate

simple little write

there they sat wearing greed-filtered glasses

bellies full, hardly missing a meal.

cuddled and warm in their hypocrite masses.

eating the flesh from the wounded, concealed. 

spinning their truth, these demigod rulers

praising a god, which, is certainly theirs.

holding out hope for the lesser, the meager

just out of reach, with only inches to spare.

Awesome write

[Ed Fagan]

once again, my humble appreciation. I hope to keep writing. it's a bit disorienting, coming back to writing after such an absence. however, it feels good.

This ain't a simple write. It's deep, powerful and very well written. Tyfs

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I am never comfortable writing shorter pieces. I always feel like there should be more to say.
